The show that’s described as a “docu-soap” will follow the young father as he embarks on a run for mayor of his hometown while co-raising his son Tripp and attempting to tackle small-town politics. If elected, Levi promises to serve his full term. Lawyer Verne E. Rupright is the current mayor of Wasilla.

But Levi explained that his current gig, starring in the “After Love” music video with singer Brittani Senser — who accompanied him to the Teen Choice Awards this weekend — has nothing to do with his ex Bristol Palin‘s family: “This video is not about the Palins in any way.”

Brittani agrees, saying, “I wrote it about a relationship that I was in years ago, and the whole disapproving mother thing was an idea that we had taken because it pertained to the end of my relationship. … The script wasn’t even there when Levi decided to do the video. It just kind of all evolved.”

Levi and Brittany insisted that they’re not an item, while he opened up about Bristol. “We’re just kind of on a break right now, going through a tough time,” says Levi of his former fiancée. “It’s over. Nothing you can do.”
